1. The Mole as an SI (Systéme International) unit The mole is the SI unit for quantity of substance. It is one of the seven base units of the SI. 2. Abbreviation of the unit The official SI abbreviation of the unit mole is mol. 3. The mole - mass relationship 3.1 One mole of any element is given by the relative atomic mass of the element
expressed in grams. Examples: 1 mol of Na = 23 g 1 mol of C = 12 g 1 mol of Aℓ = 27 g 3.2 Certain elements exist not as individual atoms but as diatomic molecules. They are
hydrogen (H2); nitrogen (N2); oxygen (O2); fluorine (F2); chlorine (Cℓ2); bromine (Br2) and iodine (I2).
Examples: 1 mol of O2 = 32 g 1 mol of Cℓ2 = 71 g 3.3 One mole of any compound is given by the relative formula mass of the compound
expressed in grams. Examples: 1 mol of KCℓ = (39) + (35,5) = 74,5 g 1 mol of Na2CO3 = (2 x 23) + (12) + (3 x 16) = 106 g 3.4 The mole - mass relationship is summarised in the formula:
Where n number of moles of substance in mol
m mass of sample of substance in g
M molar mass of substance in g.mol1
Sample question 1: What is the mass of 5 moles of sodium chloride (NaCℓ)? Answer: therefore m = n x M
m = 5 mol x 58,5 g.mol1 m = 292,5 g

4. The Mole and the Avogadro constant 4.1 Avogadro’s Discovery In 1811 an Italian scientist, Amadeo Avogadro determined that 1 mole of any
substance has a fixed number of elementary particles, namely: 6,023 x 1023. (We round this number off to 6 x 1023) 4.2 Avogadro’s Constant The number above is called Avogadro’s Constant and is given the symbol NA. NA = 6 x 1023 4.3 Elementary Particles An elementary particle is defined as the smallest part of an element or a compound
that can exist alone but still represent the element or compound. Examples: The elementary particle in sodium is the Na atom. The elementary particle in hydrogen is the H2 molecule. The elementary particle in water is the H2O molecule. The elementary particle in sodium carbonate is a unit of Na2CO3. Thus: In 1 mol of sodium (23 g) there are 6 x 1023 Na atoms. In 1 mol of hydrogen (2 g) there are 6 x 1023 H2 molecules. In 1 mol of water (18 g) there are 6 x 1023 H2O molecules. In 1 mol of sodium carbonate (106 g) there are 6 x 1023 units of Na2CO3.

5. The Mole and Gases Avogadro also determined that: 1 mol of ANY gas at STP occupies a volume of 22,4 dm3. The molar volume of ANY gas at STP is given the symbol Vm Vm = 22,4 dm3.mol-1 NOTE: STP stands for Standard Temperature (0 0C) and Pressure (100 kPa). Examples: 1 mole of nitrogen, N2 (28 g) at a temperature of 0 0C and a pressure of
100 kPa occupies a volume of 22,4 dm3. 1 mole of carbon dioxide, CO2 (44 g) at a temperature of 0 0C and a
pressure of 100 kPa occupies a volume of 22,4 dm3. For any gas at STP,
Where: n number of moles of gas
V volume of gas sample
Vm molar volume of gas (22,4 dm3.mol-1) NOTE: The volume of the gas sample (V) must always be measured in dm3 1 dm3 = 0,001 m3 = 1000 cm3 = 1000 mℓ = 1 litre Sample question: What mass of nitrogen gas would occupy 5,6 dm3 at STP? Answer:

6. The Mole and Percentage Composition of Substances The subscripts in a chemical formula give the mole ratio in which the elements combine. Example: In 1 mol of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) there are: 1 mole of K atoms 1 mole of Mn atoms 4 moles of O atoms The mole ratio enables one to calculate the percentage composition, by mass, of the
elements in the compound. Sample question: Find the percentage composition, by mass, of each element in
KMnO4

7. The Mole and Empirical Formulae of Compounds 7.1 The empirical formula of a compound gives the simplest mole ratio in which the
elements of the compound combine. Example: The empirical formula of sulphuric acid is H2SO4 and not, for example,
H1S½O2 or H4S2O8. Sample question: A compound consists of, by mass, 29,11% sodium; 40,51% sulphur
and 30,38% oxygen. What is the empirical formula of the substance? Answer: Step 1: Let the mass of a sample of the compound be 100 g. Then: mass of Na in the 100 g sample = 29,11 g mass of S in the 100 g sample = 40,51 g mass of O in the 100 g sample = 30,38 g

Step 2: Convert mass quantities to mole quantities by dividing the given mass of each substance by its atomic mass (from the periodic table).
Step 3: Simplify the mole ratio between the elements by dividing each mol value by the
smallest mol value Step 4: Eradicate fractions by multiplying by a suitable coefficient (NB: This step need not be done if you get whole number answers in step 3) Na: 2 x 1 = 2 S: 2 x 1 = 2 O: 2 x 1,5 = 3 Step 5: The empirical formula may now be written: Na2S2O3 Sometimes percentage compositions, by mass, are not given but we still follow the same procedure when calculating the empirical formula. Sample question: 4,6 g of an oxide of nitrogen contains 3,2 g of oxygen. Calculate the
empirical formula of the compound. Answer: 4,6 g is the total mass of the compound. 3,2 g of this mass consists of oxygen
and the remaining 1,4 g consists of nitrogen.
The empirical formula is thus NO2
135
7.2 Empirical formula simply tells us the ratio of the different elements in a compound, not the number of atoms of each element in the molecule. If we are given the molecular/formula mass, we can then work out the true formula.
In example above, if you were given that the formula mass of the oxide is
92 g.mol1, and you were asked to find the true formula of the oxide then: Calculate the mass of the empirical formula that you have determined.
For NO2 the mass = (14) + (2 x 16) = 46 g.mol1 Then divide the mass of the true formula by the mass of the empirical formula. 92 ÷ 46 = 2 Use this answer now to multiply the numbers in the empirical formula. NO2 (x2) becomes N2O4 8. The Mole and Balanced Equations The coefficients that balance a chemical equation indicate the mole ratios in which the
reactants react and the products are formed. The balanced equation will also tell us the minimum mass /volume of reagents that is
required and the maximum mass / volume of product that may be formed from these reagents.
Example: 3H2 + N2 2NH3 The coefficients tell us that 3 moles of hydrogen will react exactly with 1 mole of nitrogen
to produce exactly 2 moles of ammonia. The balanced equation also tells us that a minimum mass of 6 g of H2 and 28 g of N2 is
required for the production of 34 g of ammonia. The balanced equation also tells us that a minimum volume of 67,2 dm3 of H2 and
22,4 dm3 of N2 is required for the production of 44,8 dm3 of ammonia. From this information, given by the balanced equation for any chemical reaction, we are
able to calculate the number of moles / mass / volume required of reagent/s to produce a specific amount of product OR to calculate the number of moles / mass / volume of product that may be produced from a specific amount of reagent/s.
Sample question 1: 12 g of hydrogen reacts with an excess quantity (ie: more than what is required) of
nitrogen. What is the maximum mass of ammonia that can be produced in this reaction?

Answer: Method 1 Step 1: Convert any mass quantities into a mole quantity by dividing the mass of the given
substance by its atomic/molecular mass.
Step 2: Work with a ratio GOT : FIND The first numbers in the ratio come from the balanced equation. The next set of numbers come from your answer to step 1. H2 : NH3 3 : 2 6 : 4 Step 3: Use the ratio of the substance you had to FIND (in step 2) and multiply this by the
atomic/molecular mass of the substance you have to find in order to calculate the mass reacted/produced.
m = n.M = 4 mol x 17 g.mol1 = 68 g of ammonia Method 2 Step 1: Write down the balanced equation. Work out the mass of each substance.
3H2 + N2 2NH3 6 g 28 g 34 g Step 2: Calculate the mass of the required substance by using ratio and proportion.

12 g z 6 Sample question 2: 112 dm3 of nitrogen reacts with an excess quantity (ie: more than what is required) of hydrogen. What is the maximum volume of ammonia that can be produced at STP in this reaction?
137
Answer: Method 1 Step 1: Convert any volume quantities into a mole quantity by dividing the given volume of
the substance with the molar volume of any gas at STP.
Step 2: Work with a ratio GOT : FIND The first numbers in the ratio come from the balanced equation. The next set of numbers come from your answer to step 1. N2 : NH3 1 : 2 5 : 10 Step 3: Use the ratio of the substance you had to FIND (in step 2) and multiply this by the
molar gas volume at STP in order to calculate the volume reacted/produced.
V = n.Vo = 10 mol x 22,4 dm3.mol1 = 224 dm3 of ammonia Method 2 Step 1: Write down the balanced equation. Work out the volume of each substance.
3H2 + N2 2NH3 67,2 dm3 22,4 dm3 44,8 dm3 Step 2: Calculate the volume of the required substance by using ratio and proportion.
3H2 + N2 2NH3 Therefore (cross multiply)
22,4 44,8 z = 44,8 x 112 = 224 dm3 of ammonia
